An information processing apparatus performs acquiring measurement results obtained by measuring a characteristic of a recording medium a plurality of times; inputting information corresponding to a type of the recording medium; acquiring an extraction range of the type indicated by the information, among extraction ranges set to respective types of recording media for determination of a type; setting, based on the measurement results and the type, a parameter for correcting the measurement results to reduce difference between the measurement results and the extraction range; correcting, by using the parameter, measurement results obtained by measuring a characteristic of a recording medium to be recorded; and extracting a candidate type of the recording media, the measurement results, based on the corrected measurement results and the extraction range.

An image processing apparatus capable of preventing recurrence of a jam at the time of document reading is provided. The image processing apparatus includes a feeder, a reader, a storage device, and a processor. The processor causes the image processing apparatus to function as: a reading unit configured to cause the reader to read a document by a reading method among a plurality of reading methods including a conveyance-based reading method using the feeder; a storage control unit configured to, in a case where reading of a document with the reader by the conveyance-based reading method has failed, store information on the document in the storage device; and a notification unit configured to, in a case where an instruction to read again the document by the conveyance-based reading method is issued, issue, in accordance with the information, a notification that prompts to change the reading method set for the document.

An information processing apparatus capable of reducing troublesome work of a user when converting an image obtained by newly scanning a business form to a file. An information processing apparatus that sets, when converting the image to a file, a file name of the image. A preview image of the scanned original is displayed, and user selection of a character area on the preview image is detected. An item name candidate area is extracted based on location information of the character area selected by the user on the preview image, and a character string included in the item name candidate area is set as an item name of a character string included in the character area selected by the user. The set item name is displayed as a file name rule such that the set item name is selectable by the user.

According to one embodiment, an image forming apparatus includes a conveyance mechanism, a scanner, a buffer memory, a passage sensor, and a controller. The conveyance mechanism conveys a document along a conveyance path. The scanner reads an image on the document at a reading position along the conveyance path and generates image signals corresponding to the image that is read. The buffer memory stores image data corresponding to the image signals. The passage sensor is on the conveyance path upstream of the reading position. The controller determines whether to output the image data from the buffer memory after a sheet passage prediction time elapses based on the length of time required during a normal operation for the trailing edge of the document to reach the reading position.

An image forming system includes: an image forming apparatus; and a recording material information detecting apparatus provided outside the image forming apparatus, wherein the recording material information detecting apparatus includes a recording material information detector that detects recording material information about a recording material, and the image forming apparatus includes: an image former; an operation detector; and a hardware processor.

An image reading apparatus, having a reader device, a user interface, a communication interface, and a controller, is provided. The controller accepts entry of first receiver-identifying information, in response to entry of a first scan command through the user interface, controls the reader device to read an image of an original material, and stores image data for the read image in relation with the first receiver-identifying information in a predetermined memory area. In response to receiving of a second scan command including second receiver-identifying information that corresponds to the first receiver-identifying information by identifying the same receiver from an information processing apparatus by use of a specific protocol, the controller reads out the image data stored in relation with the first receiver-identifying information corresponding to the second receiver-identifying information included in the second scan command from the predetermined memory area, and transmits the image data to the information processing apparatus.

An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to: prohibit setting performed for automatic execution of a processing instruction causing a series of registered processing steps to be performed, the automatic execution being performed on data stored in a storage area, or prohibit manual execution, of the processing instruction, on the data stored in the storage area.

A personal computer 1 includes a first communication interface mechanism 16 that communicates with a first scanner 2A, and a first memory 13 that stores first reading setting information 131A in a first folder 131. The first scanner 2A includes a reception unit 221 that receives instruction data CM instructing reading of an image for which the first folder 131 is specified as the storage destination for read data, an acquisition unit 222 that, when the reception unit 221 receives the instruction data CM, accesses to the first folder 131 of the personal computer 1 and acquires the first reading setting information 131A from the first folder 131, a setting unit 223 that sets a reading condition based on the first reading setting information 131A, and a reading unit 224 that reads out an image and generates read data under the reading condition.

In an image processing system in which when a paper document is computerized, a file name or the like is set by using a recognized character string obtained by performing OCR processing, so that time and effort of a user when a plurality of documents is computerized en bloc is reduced. Learning data is generated by registering positional information relating to a recognized character string used for setting of a property relating to a scanned image in association with a document form of the scanned image. Then, in a case where the learning data is generated in response to setting of the property being performed for a first scanned image that is selected from a plurality of scanned images included in a list, a scanned image having a document form similar to a document form of the first scanned image is determined among other scanned images included in the list.

Methods and systems are disclosed for performing operations for providing an augmented reality unboxing experience. The operations include retrieving an augmented reality element comprising a virtual box that is in a closed state. The operations include obtaining triggers associated with the virtual box, the triggers configured to change the virtual box from the closed state to an open state. The operations include displaying the virtual box. The operations include receiving input associated with the virtual box. The operations include determining that the received input corresponds to the one or more triggers associated with the virtual box. The operations include modifying the virtual box from being displayed in the closed state to being displayed in the open state.
